Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) predicted Attorney General Merrick Garland would indict former President Donald Trump in an investigation regarding his handling of classified documents.
The Texas senator called Garland “the most partisan ... the most political attorney general in our nation’s history.”
SUPREME COURT’S EPA DECISION SHOULD HELP CHECK BURDENSOME GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
“He has corrupted the Department of Justice,” Cruz said of Garland while speaking on Hannity. “He has corrupted the FBI. He has corrupted the machinery of government, and they are perfectly willing to use it. It is effectively an arm of the DNC. The hypocrisy is massive.”
“Mark my words: I believe Merrick Garland will indict Donald Trump,” the Texas senator said. “He wants to indict Donald Trump because he hates Donald Trump. He hates him. He’s angry. Merrick Garland is angry that he wasn’t confirmed to the Supreme Court.”
Cruz said he believed Garland originally planned to indict Trump on classified document charges, but had to table that approach when classified documents were also found at the residencies of President Joe Biden.
"Mind you, he's not saying the underlying classified documents were a crime because he'd have to indict Joe Biden too. He's going instead create a crime about a noncrime. That's going to be the basis of the indictment," he said.
The senator added that he expects Hunter Biden to also be indicted, but that those charges will not be connected to the House Oversight Committee’s investigation.
“[Garland] will do it on purely personal matters, dealing with drugs and guns and tax issues for Hunter, that have nothing to do with Joe Biden because this DOJ wants to protect and insulate Joe Biden and the Biden family’s corruption,” Cruz said. “They want to use Hunter Biden as a scapegoat to justify targeting Donald Trump.”
Cruz called upon Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray to stop shielding the Biden family.

“I have a message for Chris Wray. I have known Chris Wray 25 years. Chris is not a left-wing partisan. He's a company man. He believes that he is protecting the FBI by circling the wagons,” the senator said.
“Let me tell you something, Chris,” Cruz said of his message to the FBI director. “The FBI works for the American people. The American people have a right to have accountability to know: Is there evidence that Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., the president of the United States, was personally involved in bribery from a foreign nation? Don’t protect the clear partisans in DOJ. Instead, put the public good above parochial concerns.”
